Our read
Editorial interpretation from the specs and what we know of this shoe — opinion, not lab-tested.
Ride
Soft, balanced cushioning with a 10 mm drop that suits easy mileage; the DNA Loft foam is comfortable but not energetic or quick to turn over.
Fit
Standard-width fit only, with a secure midfoot and reliable heel hold typical of the Ghost line.
Best for
Runners wanting a comfortable, no-fuss daily trainer for easy and recovery miles.
Avoid if
You want a snappy shoe for tempo work or need width options.
